Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations worldwide through
gift-filled shoe boxes.
In 2006, 7.6 million hurting children in 100 countries experienced the joy of Christmas by the
distribution of these shoe boxes filled with gifts, sponsored by the
Samaritans Purse International Relief Organization.
Each year at Christmas time, employees at the South Central Waste Water Authority put these packages
together to help with this Children's outreach program.
